Frankfurt/Main, 22 July 2010. In the first six months of fiscal year 2010
the Group achieved consolidated revenues of EUR k 54,025 (prior year EUR k
55,413), a decrease of 2.5 per cent. The period had one chargeable day
more than prior year.

The different services developed as follows:
* Temporary staffing + 4 per cent
* Interim and project management - 39 per cent
* Permanent placement/recruitment - 2 per cent
* Training and education + 4 per cent

Gross profit of the Amadeus FiRe Group amounted to EUR k 20,923 after EUR
k 20,653 in prior year's period, an increase of 1.3 per cent.
The gross profit margin was 38.7 per cent and 146 basis points above prior
year. The higher gross margin was due to a better margin in temporary
staffing. This was caused by an improved utilization and one additional
chargeable day.

In the first six months selling and administrative expenses increased
slightly by 0.1 per cent to EUR k 14,194 compared to EUR k 14,180 recorded
last year.

The operating profit came to EUR k 6,935 and exceeded prior year (EUR k
6,491) by 6.8 per cent. In the first half year the EBITA margin was at
12.8 per cent compared to 11.7 per cent in prior year's period.

The Management Board of the Amadeus FiRe Group is still forecasting that
the results for the 2010 financial year will be both positive and better
than the industry average.
